Chapter four.

Ginny was so excited. She and Harry were going away for the weekend. She didn't know where, only that it was a surprise.

She and Harry had been dating almost six months. Ginny couldn't imagine her life without Harry in it. Their lives melded wonderfully. Harry only did the public appearances that was absolutely necessary and they spent most of their time at Ginny's cottage with Cassie. And Cassie adored Harry. She even slipped up once and called him daddy. Ginny had never seen Harry so emotional. He had scooped Cassie up and told her he would love to be her daddy.

Ginny's family was also very happy. Her mum especially. She dropped hints all the time about marriage. Speaking of Mum.

"Ginny, now don't worry about Cassie, she will be just fine with us. You and Harry have a wonderful trip and we will see you soon."

Molly Weasley kissed her daughter goodbye and Cassie gave Ginny sloppy kisses before they disappeared in the floo.

Harry and Ginny arrived later that morning at a beautiful Hotel on the island of Maui. Ginny was thrilled. She had always wanted to go to Hawaii.

As they settled into their room, Ginny noticed that Harry was nervous and excited all at the same time.

"Harry, are you ok.'

Harry turned to Ginny and drew her into his arms. "As long as I have you, I'll be ok."

They kissed and Ginny pulled away as she noticed a box lying on the bed.

"Harry what is that?"

Harry smiled and walked over to the box.

"A gift for you, my dear." smiled Harry as he gave Ginny the box.

"A gift?"

"One of many today. Now, I have some things to do and I've made you several appointments."

"Appointments, what kind of appointments."

"Here is your schedule, a day of pampering. Now, in the box is a dress. I have a very special surprise for you tonight and I would like you to humor me and go to all of your appointment and wear that dress tonight."

"Just what have you planned, Mr. Potter."

Harry smiled as he kissed her. "I only want to show you how much I love you."

Harry lowered his lips to Ginny's and was lost.

Later that night, Ginny was standing in front of the full length mirror looking at herself in the reflection. She couldn't believe Harry had planned a day at the spa for her. She really didn't think she could love him anymore than she did right now. But here she stood in a gorgeous dress waiting on the man of her dreams to take her on yet another surprise.

Harry was waiting patiently for Ginny in the sitting room of their hotel apartment. He kept going over everything in his mind, hoping he hadn't forgotten anything when he noticed Ginny's door opening.

He stood open mouthed as he watched her come down the stairs.

She came to stand in front of him. He took her hand in his and brought her close to him.

"I think you will take my breath away for the rest of my life. Merlin, I can't hardly breathe."

Ginny laughed at his reply.

"Well, shall we go. I'm anxious to see my next surprise."

Harry laughed as he drew her out of the apartment.

Ginny was a little surprised when Harry led her across the grounds of the resort. He led her over to a beautiful canopy of flowers that had a marvelous view of the ocean. The view was breathtaking.

"Oh Harry, this is beautiful. I've never seen anything as beautiful as this."

Harry took Ginny's hands in his and turned her to face him.

"I have".

Ginny blushed and then held her breath as she noticed Harry getting down on one knee.

"Ginny, I know I don't deserve you or Cassie. I know that I've been a prat for years where you are concerned. I wake up everyday thinking I must be dreaming, that you can't possibly love me. I want to put the past behind us, I want to live for the future. I want us to live for our future. A future that begins with you , me and Cassie. I want to wake up with you in my arms and Cassie running through our bedroom door and jumping into our arms. I want you, I need you. Ginny, will you marry me?"

Ginny watched as Harry placed a gorgeous emerald ring on her finger then looked to her for an answer.

"Oh yes, Harry. Yes, I'll marry you."

Harry stood up, picked Ginny up and twirled her around in circles before sliding her down his body and claiming her lips.

When they broke apart Harry couldn't stop smiling.

"So, Ginny. When do you want to get married?"

Ginny leaned in and kissed Harry. "Anytime you want to Harry."

Harry pulled back and Ginny noticed he had a twinkle in his eye.

Harry linked Ginny's arm with his and led her back toward the hotels gardens. As they approached the entrance he leaned down and whispered in Ginny's ear.

"I was hoping you would say that."

Ginny looked up at Harry, trying to figure out what he meant when he ushered her into the gardens and applause met her ears.

Ginny couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her entire family was there and Cassie was waving from Fred's arms. Ron and Hermione were there as well with there baby boy. All of her brothers were there and friends of theirs from school as well.

Ginny looked up at Harry.

"Well, you did say you would marry me whenever I wanted, and I want to marry you right now."

Ginny was beaming. "This is what you have been doing all day. All of this for me."

Harry brought her hand up to his lips and kissed each knuckle. "Yes, for you and for me. So, are you ready to become Mrs. Potter?"

"Yes, I've been ready all my life."

Harry walked to the front of the guests with Ron as his best man. Celesta Warbeck sang as Hermione walked down the aisle as matron of honor and everyone stood as Ginny, with Cassie in her arms walked down the aisle to stand with Harry.

Professor Macgonagall officiated the wedding. Before the wedding began Harry signed papers to become Cassie's legal father. Not a dry eye could be found as Ginny and Harry recited their vows. Everyone stood and clapped as the couple become husband and wife and lived happily ever after.

The following morning, witches and wizards around the world could be seen reading the following article.
